Whether you’re a keen gardener or just want to choose the greenest, most natural way to deal with your food and garden waste, composting is the perfect solution.

Grass cuttings, dried leaves, twigs and vegetable peelings are just some of the ingredients that can go into a compost bin or heap to make peat-free compost –
ideal to use in potting or planting in your garden or allotment.

Getting started is easy. All you need is a compost bin or a small space in the garden to create a heap. Then just follow this easy guide at
Surrey Waste Partnership to creating your own supply of natural food for your garden
and watch your garden bloom.

You can involve your kids too

Children learn about reduce, reuse and recycle at school. Composting is a form of recycling you can do at home, which reduces the amount of rubbish being collected from your home.

Follow our loveable character, Compo, at our Get Composting Facebook page to help you and your families make the most out of compost.

Get composting today – for a greener tomorrow.
